The Cyber Hymnal ‎#845

845. Christ the Lord Is King

1. Shout for joy, ye holy throng,
Christ the Lord is King;
Angel harps, the sound prolong,
Christ the Lord is King.

Refrain
Bear the news from pole to pole,
Spread the truth from sea to sea,
Lo! the Prince of life and glory
King of Heav’n and earth shall be.

2. Shout for joy, ye nations all,
Christ the Lord is King;
Crowns before His throne shall fall,
Christ the Lord is King. [Refrain]

3. He who rent the boasting grave,
Christ the Lord is King;
He who lives the lost to save,
Christ the Lord is King. [Refrain]

4. Shout for joy, ye realms of night,
Christ the Lord is King;
Hail the beams of Gospel light,
Christ the Lord is King. [Refrain]
